I'm a sponge...tryign to suck up as much info as I can....

I'm pushing my luck though...I took the approach that if I'm goign to get into it...get into it all the way...

Bloody Knife, GM Purple SX9, JR 3550, Fantom 410 P2k tuned stock motor, Fantom 1.180+ pack and just bought a Turbo 35 BL Stelath to give those batteries the love the deserve.

I'll be fortunate if my pretty little graphite chassis isn't a pile of splinters after the first turn.

I plan on setting up my ESC and then dialing some of the speed out of it for a little while....adjust the throttle end point so that I CAN'T go full out....otherwise the chicane at the end of our track's longest straight will help my launch my car into the wall as I try to carve the corner too tight... (already doing this with my micro)

The hottest laps on our track layout have been 12.9-13.0s...Im turning 21's with my micro second night out...the hot drivers are doing 19's....

I'm thinking anything in the 18-19 range for the first few nights is respectable.

I've latched onto a couple locals (that tempted me into buying into on-road) that are both running CRC's....which is why I went that direction instead of the reportedly easier to tune Corally's..

They didn't mention anything about bringin the tires down to size though. I figured that I'd be slow enough off the start that I'd let the chunking shew the tires down???
